WWE Raw Opener:
Michael Cole starts off the show with news that "has swept the world" regarding the condition of Mr. McMahon's status, and the status of the NXT group, who will be now known as Nexus. Cole says Barrett is speaking with WWE officials and the mystery GM will communicate through emails again. Sheamus makes his way out to the ring and says he has watched the footage from last week and he is disgusted. He says as champion he thought he should come out and make a statement, and screams "The Champ Is Here" to a chorus of boos. Sheamus says one good thing came out of the Nexus attacks, and that is that John Cena is no longer the number one contender to his title. He says no longer will he have to look at the orange t-shirts, listen to the never give up slogans, and the fans chant "Cena Cena" like parrots. He says he hates Cena, and says he will never give Cena a shot at the title again.
Cena's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring and is all smiles as he grabs a mic. Sheamus asks him what he is doing, because he isn't getting another shot, and Cena says he knows that, but that isn't what he is out there for. Cena came out to ask him for help, because the Nexus tried taking him out, and Sheamus will be next. Cena says they fight together for one night only, and they go after Nexus, but Michael Cole interrupts them with an email from the GM. Cole goes up to a podium and reads the email and says the GM will take action against Nexus next week, and they will allow Barrett to state his case to officials. He follows by saying if any Nexus member touches a Superstar, they will be fired, and if a WWE Superstar touches a Nexus member, they will be suspended.
Cena says that doesn't completely ruin his plans, and says Sheamus is an OK guy, and says instead of starting a brawl, they should start RAW with a WWE Championship match. The GM sends another email and says Sheamus will be in action, but he will be facing Mark Henry. Cena gets mad and tells Cole to make the GM email him personally and cracks a few jokes about the internet and his email address. Cole gets yet another email and this one says that Money In The Bank is in three weeks, and puts over the stipulations, and says that the GM will now demonstrate. Sheamus says they can demonstrate all they want but he wasted enough time, and he is leaving. Cole gets another email as a steel cage lowers, and he announces that since last week's match didn't have a clean result, Sheamus will defend his title against John Cena in a Steel Cage match at Money In The Bank! Sheamus looks really pissed off as Cena gets up on the cage and pumps up the crowd.
- Six Person Mixed Tag Match | The Hart Dynasty & Natalya vs The Usos & Tamina
The Usos and Tamina attack the Harts as they are making their entrance and throw Smith into the steps and Kidd into the ring barrier. Tamina bodyslams Natalya and the three of them back up the ramp and leave the Harts laying around the ringside area. Tamina runs back down and throws Natalya in the ring and kicks her a few times. She goes up top and hits a Superfly Snuka splash and the Usos go back up the ramp as the Harts gather themselves in the ring.
Josh Mathews is backstage with R-Truth and he asks Truth what should be done about Nexus. Truth says they are acting like animals, and that firing them would be too easy. He says they should be left in the WWE Zoo, because he's the zookeeper, and that is the truth.
- Vladmir Kozlov def. Santino Marella | If Santino Wins, Kozlov agrees to be Santino's partner
Santino tries to suplex Kozlov, then punch him, and neither works so he tries a submission hold. Kozlov holds his arms and headbutts him, then suplexes him for a two count. He has Santino in a bear hug until Santino fights out, but Kozlov quickly picks Santino and drops him with the Iron Curtain for the win. Afterwards Kozlov is having some fun and tries to pick Santino up, but Santino falls to the ground as he is out on his feet. Regal comes up to Kozlov as he leaves and pats him on the back, then goes and attacks Santino in the ring. Kozlov runs back and defends Santino and Regal runs off. Kozlov picks up Santino and puts him over his shoulders and walks to the back as the crowd cheers.
Josh Mathews is backstage and introduces the Great Khali, who has Ranjin translate for him. Ranjin says that Khali says he is a big stupid giant, and that his manager is tired of protecting him. He says if the Nexus tried to attack again, Khali would run like a "kaputin" (sp?). Ranjin walks away, and since he doesn't understand what just happened, he stands there looking confused asking where Ranjin was going.
Justin Roberts puts over Rob Zombie and then he comes out to a track from his new album. Zombie gets on the mic and says he is here because he likes sick and twisted things, like a MITB Ladder Match. Randy Orton is first, followed by The Miz, R-Truth, Chris Jericho, Evan Bourne, Ted DiBiase, John Morrison and Edge. Edge calls out Zombie on the Titantron and says he hasn't talked to Zombie since he called him to tell him he was dumping his song as his entrance music. Zombie says Edge didn't dump him, Zombie dumped Edge, and he is glad he is there to say it to Edge. Zombie says that is all he has to say, and tells Edge goodnight and goodbye.
Edge asks if he scared away the horror movie director, and says it doesn't matter. He talks about the first MITB match, and how he won and cashed in against John Cena. They show highlights of the match and when Edge cashed against Cena, and yea he did that, and he had fun doing it, so he did it again against the Undertaker. He told Orton last week that the fun has just begun because he owns Money In The Bank, and he is going to take out Orton and everyone else in the match. Cole announces he got another email, and says tonight's main event will be Edge, Miz, Ted DiBiase and Jericho against Evan Bourne, Morrison, Truth and Orton in an eight-man tag team "mega" match.
Sheamus punches Henry until Henry shoves him away. Sheamus comes back and DDT's him for a two count, and then Sheamus hammers away at Henry's chest and then puts him in a headlock. Henry backs him into the turnbuckle then Sheamus hits a high knee lift and gets clotheslined when he tries running the ropes on Henry. Henry hits a splash for a two count, then goes after Sheamus outside and press slams him back into the ring. Sheamus gets back up as Henry is getting back in the ring and nails him with the Bicycle Kick for the win.
Josh Mathews is in the back with Nexus and asks what they think of the GM's "no contact" policy. Tarver says the Superstars can get suspended and they can still make an impact. Skip gets in the face of a production guy and asks if he has a problem before he shoves the guy to the ground. He rejoins the group and Tarver says that is what they mean as they straighten Josh's tie and laugh while they stand close to him.
Jerry Lawler is in the ring and says one of the greatest wrestlers ever will have his DVD released in stores tomorrow, and shows some clips of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat before he introduces Steamboat to come out to the ring. Lawler says the DVD does a great job of honoring his career, and there are a few guys in the back who would like to honor him as well. Lawler introduces Arn Anderson, Dean Malenko, Mike Rotundo and Michael Hayes. Malenko and Rotundo each say something nice about him, and then Hayes says they didn't interact alot but he wanted to get some camera time and struts. Arn Anderson says he faced Steamboat hundreds of times, and didn't win any of them, but they were great because Ricky made it happen. He says if there is a top five guys of all time and they might not know what order they are in, but Steamboat is definitely in the conversation. Ricky gets the mic and thank the fans, and gets interrupted by Nexus, and the legends get ready to defend themselves.
Nexus surrounds the ring and Heath Slater tries to get in and is quickly attacked. They get to Tarver next, until they pull Arn Anderson out of the ring and beat him up until they go after Malenko. Tarver gets to Rotundo first and they have Lawler, Hayes and Steamboat left in the ring. Nexus gets on the apron and finally gets in the ring and attacks the remaining guys, and they beat up Lawler and Hayes at ringside while Steamboat is laying in the ring. They get back in and measure him up before all six of them attack him in the middle of the ring. Slater picks him up for Otunga, who hits him with The Verdict, and then Skip nails him with a lariat. They drag him over to the corner and Justin Gabriel hits the 450 splash, and they leave him in the ring as we go to a commercial.
When we get back medical staff is putting Ricky Steamboat on a stretcher and referees are helping the other legends to the back as Cole explains what happened and why no one helped them.
